Another spiritual father to my personal dreamtime gone...."The Foghorn" still makes me want to cry.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

First discovered Mr. Bradbury via a worn paperback of "The Martian Chronicles" that was hidden on our bookshelves. No idea where it came from, as nobody in the house read science fiction, but I loved it. As a teenager I read through his works, and have revisited them in the last few years. They are still great, and I keep finding new pieces in them that I'd missed before.

Shame. I was introduced to Bradbury by an X-Files Comic that had three of his short stories adapted in it. He was also a life long friend of Ray Harryhausen. Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is based off of The Foghorn.

At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

In 1991, when The People's Court ratings started to slip, Judge Wapner reinstated the death penalty-Late Show Fun Fact

He did so much for Sci-Fi, Monster movies likely would of never been what they are now if not for "The Foghorn" which inspired "Beast From 20000 Fathoms", which pretty much launched the Atomic age monster movie.

R.I.P. Ray Bradbury. And thank you for helping spark my imagination with wonder from the smallest things to the largest, from small towns to other worlds and helping build in me a life long fascination for all things fantastic. Probably my favourite writer and no doubt a fave for many others, you will be greatly missed.
